PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Consequently, this summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section and the documents and information incorporated by reference into it.
OUR BUSINESS
We are a development stage company and have not generated revenues to date. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 8, 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 3702 South Virginia Street, #G12-401 Reno Nevada 89502. Our principal business office is located at 12-303 Binjiangxincheng, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. Our telephone number is (202) 470-4698.
We are in the business of developing and marketing an ethanol refining system from wasted grain straw for farmers in China.
SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS
We have received a going concern opinion from our independent auditors because we have not generated revenues, having just recently begun developing our ethanol refiner system. Our operating deficit as of June 30, 2006 is $5,000.
For a more complete discussion of risk factors relevant to an investment in our common stock see the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 4 of this prospectus.
THE OFFERING
This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus of up to 1,237,500 shares of our common stock. The offered shares were acquired by the selling stockholders in private placement transactions that were exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of theSecurities Act of 1933. There are currently 2,500,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and we have no other securities issued and outstanding. The selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.02 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain an OTCBB listing. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange, and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders.
SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA
The summarized financial data presented below is derived from and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, including the notes to those financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus along with the section entitled "Plan of Operation" beginning on page 13 of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating BioEnergy and its business before purchasing shares of common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.
Risks Associated with our Business
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion because we may not be able to achieve our objectives and we may have to suspend or cease our proposed operations as a start-up company entirely. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is doubt that we can continue with our proposed business operations as a start-up company for the next twelve months. We have cash in the amount of $46,000 as at June 30 2006 and we believe that this amount will be enough to support our operations until April 2007. The expenses incurred during the first 2 months of 2006 are $5,000. In the course of developing our ethanol refinery system, we may:
incur unexpected costs in completing the development of our ethanol refining demonstration system or encounter unexpected technical or other difficulties;
incur delays and additional expenses as a result of technology failure;
be unable to create a substantial market for our ethanol refinery system; or
incur significant and unanticipated expenses.
The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could cause us to run out of money so that we are unable to pay our ongoing expenses in respect of the development and marketing of our ethanol refinery system. If we do not complete the development of our ethanol refinery system by April 2007 and if we are not able to raise additional capital when needed to complete the development of our ethanol refinery system, we may have to suspend or cease our operations because we will not be able to pay our ongoing expenses in respect of the development and marketing of our ethanol refinery system.
We have no operating history and have maintained losses since inception, which we expect to continue into the future.
We were incorporated on May 8, 2006 and only just recently commenced development of our ethanol refinery system. We have not realized any revenues to date. We have no operating history at all upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to June 30, 2006 is $5,000. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
our ability to develop our ethanol refinery system;
our ability to market our ethanol refinery system;
our ability to generate ongoing revenues;
4
Based upon our proposed plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are substantial costs and expenses associated with the research, development and marketing of our product. We may fail to generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business because we will not have the money to pay our ongoing expenses.
If we are unable to obtain the necessary financing to implement our business plan we will not have the money to pay our ongoing expenses and we may go out of business.
Our ability to successfully develop our ethanol refinery system and to eventually produce and sell our system to generate operating revenues depends on our ability to obtain the necessary financing to implement our business plan. Given that we have no operating history, no revenues and only losses to date, we may not be able to achieve this goal, and if this occurs we will not be able to pay the development and marketing costs in respect of our ethanol refinery system and we may go out of business. We may need to issue additional equity securities in the future to raise the necessary funds. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. The resale of shares by our existing shareholders pursuant to this prospectus may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and cause negative impact on our ability to sell additional equity securities. Obtaining loans will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts required we will not have the money that we require for the development and marketing of our ethanol refinery system and we may go out of business.
If we are unable to complete the development of our ethanol refinery system and sell our system we will not be able to generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
We have not completed development of our ethanol refinery system and we have no contracts for the sale of our ethanol refinery system. The success of our proposed business will depend on its completion and the acceptance of our products by businesses and the general public. Achieving such acceptance will require significant marketing investment. The ethanol refinery system we develop may not be accepted by our customers at sufficient levels to support our operations and build our business. If the ethanol refinery system that we develop is not accepted at sufficient levels, our proposed business will fail.
Our technology and products may contain defects that will make it more difficult for us to establish and maintain customers.
We have not yet completed the initial development of our core technology, and it has not been tested by users. Our technology may contain undetected design faults and errors that are discovered only after it has been installed and used by customers. Any such default or error could cause delays in delivering our product or require design modifications. These could adversely affect our competitive position and cause us to lose potential customers or opportunities. Since our technology is intended to be utilized to develop a market for grain straw that is currently wasted, the effect of any such delays will likely have a detrimental impact on us. In addition, given that ethanol refinery systems have yet to gain widespread acceptance in the market, any delays would likely have a more detrimental impact on our business than if we were a more established company.
Our ethanol refinery system is not protected by any trademarks, patents and/or other intellectual property registrations. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our proposed business will fail.
We have not applied for any trademark, patent or other intellectual property registration with any governmental agency for our name or for our technology. At present we have non-disclosure agreements with our employees to protect our technology. Despite our precautions taken to protect our ethanol refinery system, unauthorized parties may attempt to reverse engineer copy or obtain and use our ethanol refinery system. If they are successful we could lose our technology or they could develop similar systems, which could create more competition for us and even cause our proposed business operations to fail.
5
We depend to a significant extent on certain key personnel, the loss of any of whom may materially and adversely affect our company.
Currently, we have only two employees and they are also our officers and directors. Our performance depends to a significant extent on the continued services and technical expertise of our director and Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Haiming Zhang. There is intense competition for skilled personnel, particularly in the field of system development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. The loss of Mr. Zhang’s services could prevent us from completing the development of our ethanol refinery system. In the event of the loss of services of such personnel, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain the services of adequate replacement personnel. We do not maintain key person insurance on the lives of any of our officers or employees.
We have no sales and marketing experience.
We have not yet begun marketing our products and thus have yet to make any commercial sales of the products. The Company's employees have no experience in marketing such products and no distribution system has been developed. While the Company has plans for marketing and sales, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful or that the Company will be able to attract and retain qualified individuals with marketing and sales expertise. The Company's future success will depend, among other factors, upon whether the Company's products can be sold at a profitable price and the extent to which consumers acquire, adopt, and continue to use them. There can be no assurance that the Company's products will gain wide acceptance in its targeted markets or that the Company will be able to effectively market its products.
If our estimates related to expenditures are erroneous our business will fail and you will lose your entire investment.
Our success is dependent in part upon the accuracy of our management's estimates of expenditures. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources under "Plan of Operations”.) If such estimates are erroneous or inaccurate we may not be able to carry out our business plan, which could, in a worst-case scenario, result in the failure of our business and you losing your entire investment.
Our officers and directors are engaged in other activities and may not devote sufficient time to our affairs, which may affect our ability to conduct operations and generate revenues.
The persons serving as our officers and directors have existing responsibilities and may have additional responsibilities to provide management and services to other entities. Mr. Min Ge, our President (Principal Executive Officer), Treasurer (Principal Accounting Officer) and Principal Financial Officer and one of our directors, is also manager of Jindian Marketing Ltd. in China. We expect Mr. Ge to spend approximately 10 to 20 hours a week on the business of our company. Mr. Haiming Zhang, our Chief Technology Officer and one of our directors, is research associate of Hangzhou Runming Chemical Company in China. We expect Mr. Zhang to spend approximately 10 hours or more a week on the business of our company. Mr. Jose Castro, one of our directors, is also involved in venture capital investment in China. We expect Mr. Castro to spend approximately 10 hours or more a week on the business of our company. As a result, demands for the time and attention from our directors and officers from our company and other entities may conflict from time to time. Because we rely primarily on our directors and officers to maintain our business contacts and to promote our ethanol refinery system, their limited devotion of time and attention to our business may hurt the operation of our business.
Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control a significant percentage of our common stock, you will have little or no control over our management or other matters requiring shareholder approval.
Our directors and officers collectively own 50.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, our director and officers collectively have the ability to control matters affecting minority shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because our directors and officers collectively own a significant percentage of our common stock, you will have difficulty replacing our management if you disagree with the way our business is being run. Because control by an insider could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of the insider and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.
6
Risks Associated with our Common Stock
There is no active trading market for our common stock and you may be unable to sell your shares of our common stock if a market does not develop for our common stock.
There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental stage companies, which may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations and the NASD's sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. (See "Market for our Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters".) Our securities are subject to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which imposes additional sales practice disclosure requirements. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock and adversely affect the price of our shares.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules, the NASD has adopted rules requiring that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for the customer. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares of our common stock.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not invest in our common stock.
Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.
We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 2,500,000 shares are issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause the Company to issue additional shares of common stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privilege of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of BioEnergy in the future.
Other Risks
Because all of our officers and directors are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against the management for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgment and civil liabilities against our officers, directors, experts and agents.
All of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
Please read this prospectus carefully. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should not assume that the information provided by the prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors” that may cause our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION'S PUBLIC REFERENCE
Any member of the public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet web site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
THE OFFERING
This prospectus covers the resale by certain selling stockholders of 1,237,500 shares of common stock, which were issued pursuant to a private placement offering made by BioEnergy pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The shares of common stock offered hereby are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the common stock will go to the respective selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling stockholders may sell their shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $0.02 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an OTCBB listing. The offering price of $0.02 per share is based on the last sales price of our common stock on May 15, 2006 and does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Additionally, because we have no significant operating history and have not generated any material revenues to date, the price of our common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of our common stock indicative of the current market value of the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market.
DILUTION
Since all of the shares being registered are already issued and outstanding, no dilution will result from this offering.
8
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends since inception. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Although there are no restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, we intend to retain future earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business.
BUSINESS
Overview
BioEnergy Inc. was formed as a Nevada corporation on May 8, 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 3702 South Virginia Street, #G12-401 Reno Nevada 89502. Our telephone number is (202) 470-4698. Our operations office in China is located at 12-303 Binjiangxincheng, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
We are in the business of developing a system for refining ethanol from wasted grain straw. China is a large agricultural country with a huge production of rice and wheat. Tons of grain straw are burned and wasted every year (up to 700 million tons). (Ref: http://www.newenergy.org.cn/html/2006-2/2006220_ 7657.html - Article published on February 20, 2006 in China Technology) Our intention is to help Chinese farmers use our biotechnology to refine this grain straw, producing ethanol, which would significantly benefit those Chinese farmers, release the tension of energy demand and help the environment.
We are not a blank check company as we have commenced the development of our system for refining ethanol from wasted grain straw. We have already completed a prototype of our system, developed by our Chief Technology Officer and one of our directors. (Please also see “Management Discussion and Plan of Operations”.)
Background
Global energy demand continues to increase. According to the most recent information provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, in 2003, the world consumed:
29 billion barrels of oil (http://www.eia.doe.gov/neic/experts/expertanswers.html),
2,476 million short tons of coal (http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/ieo/pdf/ieoreftab_6.pdf); and
27.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/ieo/pdf/ieoreftab_5.pdf).
The combustion of these fossil fuels results in the annual release of approximately 8 gigatons of carbon dioxide (http://etsuodt.tamu-commerce.edu/AcademicOrganizations//sigmaxi/maa/d040500.html) into the Earth's atmosphere with uncertain effects on global temperature.
China has recently moved into second place worldwide as a consumer of oil, and its recent pace of economic growth has resulted in global demand for oil and energy growing at rates well above recent historical averages.
Political instability in oil-rich countries only adds to economic problems through the potential for major supply disruptions, resulting in a global energy crisis.
On the other hand, Chinese farmers generate more than 700 million tons of grain straw from the cultivation and harvest of rice and wheat, and this grain straw could be refined to ethanol, a well-known alternative energy.
What is Ethanol?
Ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel that is produced from renewable sources. At its most basic, ethanol is grain alcohol, produced from crops such as corn, because grains contain a sugar element that is key for the production of ethanol. As grain straw also contains the basic sugar element found in corn, ethanol can also be produced from grain straw. Because it is domestically produced, ethanol helps reduce China's dependence upon foreign sources of energy.
Pure 100% ethanol is not generally used as a motor fuel; instead, a percentage of ethanol is combined with unleaded gasoline. This is beneficial because the ethanol:
9
decreases the fuel's cost;
increases the fuel's octane rating;
decreases gasoline's harmful emissions.
Any amount of ethanol can be combined with gasoline, but the most common blend is “E10”. E10 is 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline. E10 is approved for use in any make or model of vehicle sold in China, because of its high performance, clean-burning characteristics. In 2005, about 20% of China's gasoline was blended with ethanol, most in this 10% variety.
In recent years, China has set up quite a few enterprises to produce ethanol, but our goal is to help Chinese farmers set up small-sized ethanol refinery systems using grain straw produced by themselves. Therefore these big enterprises are not our direct competitors.
Our Ethanol Refinery System
There are five main components in our system:
- Grinder (15kw, 25kg/h)
- Cooker #1 (Boiler – high temperature cooker) Standard Volume: 100L
- Cooker #2 (Slow cooker – low temperature cooker) Standard Volume: 100L
- Distiller (5kw)
- Dehydrator (7.5kw)
Our ethanol refinery system provides the technology to process refined ethanol through the following procedures:
1. | Milling. The grain straw passes through a grinder, which grinds it into a fine powder called meal. |
| |
2. | Liquefaction. The meal is mixed with water and alpha-amylase (the first enzyme), and then poured into cooker #1 where the starch is liquefied. Heat is applied at this stage to enable liquefaction. This step takes about 48 hours. Cooker #1 is a large, sealed boiler. The meal is placed into it at a ratio of one-third meal to two-thirds water. Cooker #1 has two indicators – one for temperature (which needs to be above 105ºC) and one for pH value. The product is liquefied and boiled until it reaches a pH of 7. At this point nitric acid is added until the pH value drops to 5. |
| |
3. | Saccharification. The mash from the cooker is then cooled and the secondary enzyme (gluco- amylase) is added to convert the liquefied starch to fermentable sugars (dextrose). |
| |
4. | Fermentation. Yeast is added to the mash to ferment the sugars to ethanol and carbon dioxide until it is fully fermented and leaves cooker #1. At this stage, the temperature first needs to drop to 35ºC. Once this temperature is reached, the product is moved to cooker #2, which is another large cooker. The product is left to ferment at 35ºC for seven days. At the end of seven days, the sediment is filtered out. |
| |
5. | Distillation. The fermented mash, similar to beer, contains about 10% alcohol plus all the non- fermentable solids from the meal and yeast cells. The mash is pumped to the continuous flow, multi- column distiller, where the alcohol is removed from the solids and the water. The alcohol leaves the top of the final column at about 96% strength, and the residue mash, called stillage, is transferred from the base of the column to the co-product processing area. The product is now cooked in the distiller until 50% to 60% of the water has evaporated. At the end of this process, the product has become 60% ethanol (40% water). |
| |
6. | Dehydration. The alcohol from the top of the column passes through a dehydrator, where the remaining water will be removed. The alcohol product at this stage is called anhydrous ethanol (pure, without water) and is approximately 200 proof. Once the dehydration process is complete, the resulting product will be a minimum of 95% ethanol, which is sufficient for use as a blend for automobile gas. |
The entire system looks like a small business wine making system, and everything can be fit into a standard garage-sized space. Our proposed ethanol refinery system can be built entirely with in-house expertise and resources, without any special maintenance or reconstruction. Our ethanol refinery products can be built to be a variety of sizes to fit various requirements by simply adding more cookers. Our standard enthanol system is a 100L model that can generate 50 litres of 95% pure ethanol.
10
Research and Development
Although we believe that the Company's technology is not the most advanced in the ethanol refinery area available on the market today, our products are inexpensive and are fit for Chinese farmers’ requirements. The Company will continue to upgrade and refine its existing technologies. During the next twelve months, the Company will continue to focus on enhancing its refinery speed, its purity of product and reducing costs.
Present Stage of Development
All related technologies were acquired from our Chief Technology Officer and one of our directors, Haiming Zhang, at no cost. Mr. Zhang has completed a prototype of our ethanol refinery system. The volume of our system’s production is in direct proportion to the numbers of cookers purchased and configured. Thus our systems can be as large or small as a user requires. We have not yet completed the development of our ethanol refinery technology. We believe our products will be commercially available by the end of September 2007.
To remain competitive in the ethanol refinery industry, we will continue developing and improving our core technology. Currently the standard system takes about nine days to finish one complete process, and our current goal is make the system work one-third faster, or about six days, which requires us to test various kinds of additives. The costs of our research and development activities are not borne by customers since we will not have customers until the completion of the marketing and development of our ethanol refinery system. We will either raise more funds from investors or borrow from existing directors to cover our projected research and development expenses. Our directors and officers have agreed to contribute up to $50,000 in additional funds before we seek further financing through a private placement.
Our Chief Technology Officer and one of our directors, Mr. Haiming Zhang, was a former engineer at Hengli Chemical Factory, located in Hangzhou, where he invented our ethanol refinery system. It is estimated that the cost of manufacturing the system will be less than 50,000 Chinese Yuan (approximately USD$6,000). Users can purchase more cookers to increase the system’s output.
We are still conducting research to reduce the costs of each system with the goal of making the units more affordable for individual farmers.
Manufacturing, Service & Support
Our proposed ethanol refinery system can be built entirely with in-house expertise and resources, without any special maintenance or reconstruction. Our ethanol refinery products can be built to be a variety of sizes to fit various requirements, basically depending upon the number of cookers configured with the system.
All of the materials and parts related to the ethanol refinery system are available through the public marketplace.
Once we receive orders, we will contract with OEM manufacturers to produce these for us at pre-negotiated prices. (OEM: “Original Equipment Manufacturer” means the manufacturer replicates our product for us with our brand and we will then sell the products ourselves.) Typically the order will be shipped within five business days.
Manufacture of our ethanol refinery system doesn’t require any special facilities or equipment. It is easy for machinery manufacturers to assemble our product by following our instructions.
Our directors have contacted several machinery manufacturers, who have shown interest in working with us. We will look for OEM manufacturers either by direct communication or advertisement. We plan to pursue this further upon commercialization of our product.
We will employ local representatives to be part of our sales and technical support team. If a user has any difficulties, our representatives will be on-site for assistance, free of charge for the initial call and at pre-established rates thereafter.
11
Key Success Factors
Strategic
Our goal is for our ethanol refinery system to become a leading product in the Chinese marketplace. In order to achieve our goal, we intend to increase awareness of our products with potential customers, generally anticipated to be farmers. We intend to do this by engaging in the following:
Attending Agriculture Meetings, Promotional Events and Conferences: We plan to attend a number of events attended by agriculture-related institutions in order to further expose our products. These events will include agricultural products and technology trade meetings and promotional events that are attended by agriculture-related institutions and related seminars and conferences.
Developing Direct Marketing Programs to Attract Farmers: In addition to attending the foregoing conferences and seminars, we intend to market directly to farmers. Initially we will seek to contact farmers in eastern and southern Mainland China, because these farmers are the wealthiest farmers in China, and they are very interested in diversification, rather than farming only. Our marketing will include conducting seminars and the use of online and traditional advertising media such as newspapers and trade publications.
Promoting through Internet-Based and Traditional Media Advertising: We intend to use Internet- based and traditional media to promote our technology and products directly to farmers.
We intend to develop a network of qualified representatives who will understand how our ethanol refinery system will benefit farmers. Initially, we hope to include at least one professional in the southeast of China. We will build our network through a direct marketing program and through word-of-mouth. To ensure that our customers receive high quality products, we will implement a follow-up program to seek feedback from all farmers purchasing our ethanol refinery system.
Our anticipated costs to implement the strategy for the next 12 months are estimated as follows:
travel - $4,000
marketing - $2,000
We will obtain funds to cover these costs by private equity fundraising or shareholders' loans. We anticipate that the Company will begin to receive revenues from the sale of our ethanol refinery systems to farmers before the end of December 2008.
Skilled Management Team
We intend to expand our current management to retain skilled directors, officers and employees with experience relevant to our business focus. Our current management team is highly skilled in technical areas such as researching and developing our technologies, but not skilled in areas such as marketing. Obtaining the assistance of individuals with an in-depth knowledge of markets will allow us to build market share more effectively.
Competition
We are not aware of any companies that are marketing similar ethanol refinery systems to farmers in China. The existing ethanol refinery systems are only affordable by chemical factories and not by Chinese farmers because the size of the products and the financial investment required to purchase and install these large systems is prohibitive to the average farmer.
The technologies we are currently using are commonly used and are available to the public. We are in the process of researching patent rights, and at present we are not aware of anyone in China having any patents, trademarks and/or copyright protection for the technologies and any proprietary rights to these technologies. We believe that the ethanol refinery system developed by us should be protected. In order to protect our products we plan to apply for patent protection and/or copyright protection in the United States, China and other jurisdictions, and we will require purchasers of our products to enter into non-disclosure agreements with us.
Marketing Plan
Through their past and current employment in the chemical and agriculture industry in China, our directors have developed business contacts and an in-depth understanding of business practices and
12
customs in these industries. They intend to actively promote interest in the eastern and southern mainland villages of China. In addition, we intend to promote our ethanol system through traditional advertising and promotional media, such as newspaper and trade publications, as well as advanced media, to effect maximum exposure and penetration in the farmers’ marketplace. We also plan to do a demonstration show in various villages.
Brand Equity
We have selected the name of our company in an attempt to establish our brand name.Advertising
We intend to develop our website as one medium to promote our ethanol refinery system. We also intend to market our ethanol refinery system by placing advertisements in newspapers and magazines.
We intend to produce promotional material for direct marketing. However, if we are unable to complete the development of our ethanol refinery system, or if we are unable to sell our ethanol refinery system, we may go out of business.
We will be dependent on representativesfor the sale of our ethanol refinery system. Currently we do not have any distribution representatives.
Even if we do have representatives, we may not be able to deliver any products to the user in a timely manner and these representatives may not be able to sell our products in volumes anticipated by us. Customer Service
Our customers will receive one free on-site technical support call that can be used for initial installation and instruction. Subsequently we will charge 200 RMB per hour for service calls.
Legal
We have not obtained any copyrights, patents or trademarks in respect of our ethanol refinery system, which is currently undergoing research and development. We intend to obtain all necessary copyrights, patents or trademarks, as applicable, in the United States and China, when we are in a financial position to do so. We have not entered into any licensing, franchise, concession or royalty agreements in respect of our proposed ethanol refinery system. At present, we have non-disclosure agreements with our employees to protect our technology.
Employees
Our President (Principal Executive Officer) and director, Mr. Min Ge, our director Mr. Jose Castro and our Chief Technology Officer and director Mr. Haiming Zhang are the only employees of the company. They handle all of the responsibilities in the area of corporate administration, business development and research.
Government Regulation and Supervision
We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to sell our ethanol refinery system that are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the sale of our ethanol refinery system in China is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS & PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Since we have only recently begun development of our ethanol refinery system and have not generated any revenue, our independent auditors have issued an opinion about our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our audited financial statements for the period from our inception on May 8, 2006 to June 30, 2006. This means that our auditors believe there is doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have generated minimal revenues and no revenues are anticipated unless and until we complete the development and marketing of our proposed ethanol refinery system. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of our products. Our only other source for cash at this time is equity investments by others in our company. Our accumulated deficit is $5,000 as of June 30, 2006. The discussion below provides an overview of our operations, discusses our results of operations, our plan of operations, our liquidity and capital resources.
13
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors".
Our primary objective in the next twelve months will be to complete development of our proposed ethanol refinery system, establish our marketing plan, commence an advertising campaign for our proposed ethanol refinery system, and employ our first sales force for direct sales of our proposed products in China.
Since our incorporation on May 8, 2006, we have taken active steps to implement our business plan. In March 2005, we began the development of our ethanol refinery system. Our Chief Technology Officer and one of our directors, Haiming Zhang, has completed several experiments of key components that will form the basis of our proposed ethanol refinery system.
We anticipate that, in time, the primary source of revenue for our business model will be the sale of our proposed ethanol refinery system. We also anticipate that we may receive compensation for professional services such as customized design and development of the ethanol refinery system. Currently, we do not have any customers, as our ethanol refinery system is not yet fully developed.
In our management’s opinion, we need to achieve the following events or milestones in the next twelve months:
In order to reach these milestones, we will do the following:
1. | Develop a demonstration of our ethanol refinery system by March 31, 2007. This will allow users to see the results of the ethanol refinery technology and determine its effectiveness. We estimate that this will cost a total of $4,000. |
| |
2. | Develop the completed commercial version of our proposed ethanol refinery system by September 30, 2007. This system will be marketed to potential customers in China. We estimate that the remaining cost for completion of the ethanol refinery system development is approximately $4,000 |
| |
3. | Commence a marketing campaign for our ethanol refinery system following its development, which will be by the end of September 2007. We estimate that we will need $6,000 to implement our marketing and advertising campaign. |
Furthermore, in our management’s opinion, we can expect to incur the following expenses to fund our plan of operation for the next twelve months:
Audit fees, which consist primarily of accounting and auditing fees for the year-end audit. We estimate that our audit fees for the next twelve months will be approximately $4,000;
Bank charges, which consist primarily of charges by our bank for processing transactions through our checking account. We estimate that our bank charges for the next twelve months will be approximately $100;
Legal and organizational fees, which consist primarily of legal fees paid by us regarding securities advice and organizing the company. We estimate that our legal and organizational fees for the next twelve months will be approximately $10,000; and
Other operating expenses, which consist primarily of the expenses incurred for further development of our proposed ethanol refinery system; for the advertising campaign for our proposed ethanol refinery system, and other administrative expenses. We estimate that our other operating expenses for the next twelve months will be approximately $30,000.
14
Purchase or Sale of Equipment
We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We will lease warehouse space as needed for the development of our system.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006, we had $45,000 in cash. We anticipate that our total operating expenses will be approximately $54,000 for the next twelve months. This includes our estimated expenses as follows:
$4,000 for the development of our demonstration ethanol refinery system;
$4,000 to complete the development of our commercial version of our ethanol refinery system
$6,000 to commence our advertising and marketing campaign;
$4,000 for our audit fees over the next twelve months;
$10,000 for our legal and organization fees over the next twelve months; and
$26,000 for other operating expenses not included above.
In the opinion of our management, funds currently available will probably satisfy our working capital requirements up to April 2007. We will raise additional capital to continue our operations thereafter. We will obtain additional funding by borrowing from our directors and officers and through a private placement. Our directors and officers have agreed to contribute, prior to seeking financing by private placement, up to $50,000 as loans without interest when the Company requires additional funding. We cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then our ability to expand our operations may be adversely affected.
Personnel
Mr. Min Ge, our President (Principal Executive Officer), Treasurer (Principal Accounting Officer) and Principal Financial Officer, Director, Mr. Haiming Zhang, our Chief Technology Officer and Director and Mr. Jose Castro, our Director, are currently each working approximately 10 to 20 hours per week to meet our needs. As demand requires, Mr. Ge, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Castro will devote additional time. We currently have no other employees. We expect that we will only increase our number of employees by one person during the next twelve months.

We have not reimbursed our directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending board meetings nor have we paid any directors fees or other cash compensation for services rendered as a director in the period ended June 30, 2006.
We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors. In the future we may grant options to our directors to purchase shares of common stock as determined by our Board of Directors or a compensation committee that may be established. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. The board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of BioEnergy other than services ordinarily required of a director. Other than as indicated in this prospectus, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his or her services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.
DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The General Corporate Law of Nevada empowers a company such as BioEnergy incorporated in Nevada, to indemnify its directors and officers under certain circumstances.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Articles provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to BioEnergy or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of such director or officer unless such acts or omissions involve material misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of the General Corporate Law of Nevada.
Our Bylaws provide that no officer or director shall be personally liable for any obligations of BioEnergy or for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of the officer or director performed for or on behalf of BioEnergy. The Bylaws also state that we will indemnify and hold harmless each person and their heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such persons shall become subject by reason of their having heretofore or hereafter been a director or officer, or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him or her as a director or officer. We will reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the General Corporate Law of Nevada; provided, however, that no such persons shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with
17
any claim or liability arising out of his (or her) own negligence or wilful misconduct. Our Bylaws also provide that we, our directors, officers, employees and agents, will be fully protected in taking any action or making any payment, or in refusing to do so in reliance upon the advice of counsel.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of BioEnergy under Nevada law or otherwise, BioEnergy has been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common stock listed above, based on information furnished by such owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. |
Changes in Control
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of BioEnergy.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of our common stock in one or more of the following methods described below. Our common stock is not currently listed on any national exchange or electronic quotation system. There is currently no market for our securities and a market may never develop. Because there is currently no public market for our common stock, the selling stockholders will sell their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.02 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain an OTCBB listing. The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
- block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
18
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
privately negotiated transactions;
a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale; and
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfil the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described above. Before the involvement of any broker-dealer in the offering, such broker-dealer must seek and obtain clearance of the underwriting compensation and arrangements from the NASD Corporate Finance Department.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge their shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of their customer agreements with their brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, the broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements, under the Securities Act, by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act, which may be required in the event any selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.
If the selling stockholders enter into an agreement to sell their shares to a broker-dealer as principal and the broker-dealer is acting as an underwriter, and to the extent required under the Securities Act, we will file a post effective amendment to this registration statement to disclose the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction. We will also file the agreement between the selling stockholders and the broker-dealer as an exhibit to this registration statement.
We, and the selling stockholders, will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholders are distribution participants and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.
All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.
19
Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. Rule 144 provides that any affiliate or other person who sells restricted securities of an issuer for his own account, or any person who sells restricted or any other securities for the account of an affiliate of the issuer of such securities, shall be deemed not to be engaged in a distribution of such securities and therefore not to be an underwriter thereof within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act if all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. Conditions for sales under Rule 144 include:
1. | adequate current public information with respect to the issuer must be available; |
| |
2. | restricted securities must meet a one year hold period, measured from the date of acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer (because our selling security holders paid the full purchase price for the shares of our common stock covered by this registration statement on May 15, 2006, the shares of our common stock covered by this registration statement have not yet met the one year holding period); |
| |
3. | sales of restricted or other securities sold for the account of an affiliate, and sales of restricted securities by a non-affiliate, during any three month period, cannot exceed the greater of (a) 1% of the securities of the class outstanding as shown by the most recent statement of the issuer; or (b) the average weekly trading volume reported on all exchanges and through an automated inter-dealer quotation system for the four weeks preceding the filing of the Notice in Form 144; |
| |
4. | the securities must be sold in ordinary "brokers' transactions" within the meaning of section 4(4) of the Securities Act or in transactions directly with a market maker, without solicitation by the selling security holders, and without the payment of any extraordinary commissions or fees; |
| |
5. | if the amount of securities to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any three month period exceeds 500 shares/units or has an aggregate sale price in excess of $10,000, the selling security holder must file a notice in Form 144 with the Commission. |
The current information requirement listed in (1) above, the volume limitations listed in (3) above, the requirement for sale pursuant to broker's transactions listed in (4) above, and the Form 144 notice filing requirement listed in (5) above cease to apply to any restricted securities sold for the account of a non-affiliate if at least two years has elapsed from the date the securities were acquired from the issuer or from an affiliate. These requirements will cease to apply to sales by the selling security holders of the shares of our common stock covered by this registration statement on May 15, 2008.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
We have not yet appointed a stock transfer agent for our securities. We intend to appoint a stock transfer agent before this prospectus becomes effective.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
All of the shares of common stock issued are being offered by the selling stockholders listed in the table below. None of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliated with broker-dealers. We issued the shares of common stock in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S.
The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of their common stock. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only some portion of the shares of common stock listed in the table, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders as of September 30, 2006, and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. The number of shares in the table represents an estimate of the number of shares of common stock to be offered by the selling stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.001 par value. As of September 30, 2006, there were 2,500,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.
Each stockholder is entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of BioEnergy, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
Stockholders do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock if issued by us. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to us.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders will be passed upon by the law firm of Fraser and Company LLP of Vancouver, British Columbia.

Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents, subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.
22
MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Currently there is no established public trading market for our common stock. We do not have any common stock subject to outstanding options or warrants to purchase and there are no securities outstanding that are convertible into our common stock. None of our issued and outstanding common stock can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 at this time. We are registering 1,237,500 shares of our common stock under the Securities Act for sale by the selling securities holders. There are currently 35 holders of record of our common stock.
We have not declared any dividends on our common stock since the inception of our company on May 8, 2006. There is no restriction in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that will limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. However, we do not anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, our common stock will most likely be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" generally refers to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 to $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

We are required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of Bioenergy Inc.|
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Bioenergy Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2006 and the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from May 8, 2006 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bioenergy Inc. as of June 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows and the changes in stockholders’ equity for the period from May 8, 2006 (date of inception) through June 30, 2006 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has losses from operations since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company) |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Stated in US Dollars) |
JUNE 30, 2006 |
|
1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
| |
| The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 8, 2006. The Company is planning to develop an ethanol refinery system in China. The Company is considered to be a development stage company as it has not generated revenues from operations. |
| |
| The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2006, the Company is still in the development stage with respect to its business, has not yet achieved profitable operations and has accumulated a deficit of $5,000 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when the come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
| |
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| |
| The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates. |
| |
| The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: |
| |
| Organizational and Start-up Costs |
| |
| Costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred. |
| |
| Financial Instruments |
| |
| The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial statements. |
| |
| Income Taxes |
| |
| The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109, requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. |
| |
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. |

(Stated in US Dollars) |
JUNE 30, 2006 |
|
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACOUNTING POLICIES(cont’d…) |
| |
| Basic and Diluted Loss per Share |
| |
| In accordance with SFAS No. 128 - "Earnings Per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At June 30, 2006, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the loss per share computation. |
| |
| Stock-based Compensation |
| |
| The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18 (“EITF 96-18”). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18. |

| The Company has also adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - An Interpretation of Accounting Principals Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 (“FIN 44”), which provides guidance as to certain applications of APB 25. |
| |
| The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
| |
| In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements(cont’d…) |
| |
| In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. This adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations. |

PART II - INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Nevada corporation law provides that:
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and
to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
We may make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
by our stockholders;
by our Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
by court order.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Articles provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to BioEnergy or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of such director or officer unless such acts or omissions involve material misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of the General Corporate Law of Nevada.
27
Our Bylaws provide that no officer or director shall be personally liable for any obligations of BioEnergy or for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of the officer or director performed for or on behalf of BioEnergy. The Bylaws also state that we will indemnify and hold harmless each person and their heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such persons shall become subject by reason of their having heretofore or hereafter been a director or officer, or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him or her as a director or officer. We will reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the General Corporate Law of Nevada; provided, however, that no such persons shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his (or her) own negligence or wilful misconduct. Our By-Laws also provide that we, our directors, officers, employees and agents, will be fully protected in taking any action or making any payment, or in refusing so to do in reliance upon the advice of counsel.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of BioEnergy under Nevada law or otherwise, BioEnergy has been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by BioEnergy for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of BioEnergy in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, BioEnergy will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in said Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26 Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities - Last Three Years.
On May 15, 2006, we accepted subscription agreements that sold 2,500,000 common shares to the following 35 subscribers at an offering price of $0.02 per share for gross offering proceeds of $50,000. It is an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The offering price for the offshore transactions was established on an arbitrary basis. All of the following persons are not U.S. persons, as the term is defined under Regulation S and the sales of our common stock to the following person are made in offshore transactions as the term is defined under Regulation S. No direct selling efforts were made in the United States by the Company, any distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. We are subject to Category 3 of Rule 903 of Regulation S and accordingly we implemented the offering restrictions required by Category 3of Rule 903 of Regulation S by including a legend on all offering materials and documents which stated that the shares have not been registered under theSecurities Act of 1933and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless the shares are registered under theSecurities Act of 1933, if an exemption from registration requirements of theSecurities Act of 1933is available. The offering materials

and documents also contained a statement that hedging transactions involving the shares may not be conducted unless in compliance with theSecurities Act of 1933.

Item 28 Undertakings
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that it will:
1. | file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include: |
| | |
| (a) | any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| | |
| (b) | reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and |
| | |
| (c) | any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement; |
| | |
2. | for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each of the post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and |
| | |
3. | remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of BioEnergy pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, BioEnergy has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission that type of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against said liabilities (other than the payment by BioEnergy of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of BioEnergy in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by the director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, BioEnergy will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of the issue.
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
